Heavy Metal Too Heavy For 2000?

From the mouth of G.O.D.: "And on the 2nd Quarter of 2001, it shall rise again!"

By IGN Staff

Rumors have been circulating about the cancellation of G.O.D.'s Heavy Metal F.A.K.K. 2 port to the Dreamcast, and after multiple internal sources indicated that this was the case, we thought we'd give the Gathering a yell and find out what's what.

Well, the good news is that, despite other rumblings within the company, a G.O.D. representative claims that the game was indeed canceled, but is apparently back on the table for some time in the Spring of 2001. Apparently, the hold-up is the result of the wait for finalized Dreamcast code for the Quake 3 engine on which the game is based. But G.O.D. was adamant that the game would still make its way to the DC.

While its certainly bad news that there's no way the game will hit its original December 2000 target, at least it appears the game will still make its way to the console. After the whole KISS debacle, we won't be counting our chickens before they hatch, but for those of you willing to keep an open mind, check out IGNPC's coverage of the game by clicking the link below.
